      • "content": "THERE HAS BEEN a near $393 million surge in deposits in the banking system since December. The boost comes mainly from foreign currency inflows and household savings, the Central Bank of Barbados has reported in its first quarter economic review. Businesses and individuals have also borrowed about $100 million more since the end of last year. It means that total deposits at commercial banks, finance companies and credit unions reached $16.2 billion at the end of March, compared with $14.8 billion in the same period last year, and $15.8 billion at the end of last year. Reporting on the financial sector developments during his report of the economy’s first quarter performance, Central Bank Governor Dr Kevin Greenidge said that the financial system remained stable between January and March. Strong deposit growth “Credit quality improved, liquidity remained high, and profitability increased. Commercial banks and finance companies maintained capital buffers well above regulatory requirements. Strong deposit growth and a decline in non-performing loans underscored the system’s continued resilience,” he said. On deposits, noted that “foreign-currency inflows and household savings drove deposit growth and liquidity”. “Total deposits increased by 2.5 per cent compared to December 2024. Foreign-currency deposits increased by 19.1 per cent, reflecting inflows from the global business sector and other non-residents, lifting the foreign-currency share of total deposits by 1.3 percentage points to 9.3 per cent,” he said. “Domestic-currency deposits rose by one per cent, driven primarily by higher household balances. Liquidity also improved, with liquid asset ratios increasing by 1.9 percentage points for banks and 0.2 percentage points for finance companies.” Borrowing also expanded, with credit to the non-financial private sector increasing during the first three months of the year. “Outstanding credit rose by 1.2 per cent compared to December 2024. Business credit grew by two per cent – $51.2 million – with large increases in hotels and restaurants and real estate and other professional services. Household credit expanded by 0.8 per cent – $48.3 million – led by continued growth in mortgage lending.” Credit to Central Government only increased slightly, moving from $3.19 billion at the end of last year to $3.2 billion at the end March. Borrowing by the rest of the public sector declined from $136.8 million at the end of December to $131.8 million at the end of the first quarter. Most of Government’s financing in the 2024/2025 fiscal year came from long-term domestic instruments policy-based loans from the International Monetary Fund and other institutions. Greenidge said the strength of the financial sector was exemplified by improved asset quality and strong capital levels. Repayment capacity “Asset quality continued to improve during the first quarter. Non-performing loans declined, reflecting stronger borrower repayment capacity,” he said. “The non-performing loans ratio for commercial banks fell to 3.9 per cent, down from 4.1 per cent in December 2024. For finance companies, the ratio declined to nine per cent from 9.7 per cent, with most of the improvement occurring in the household segment.” The Governor added: “Capital levels remained strong, and bank profitability improved. expenses.” Commercial banks recorded a capital adequacy ratio 19.9 per cent, while finance companies held a ratio 20.2 per cent, both well regulatory minimum. net interest income supported increased profits among In contrast, profitability finance companies declined slightly, reflecting higher non-interest expenses.” SigniaGlobe Financial Group Inc. chief executive officer Paul Ashby has evidence of the improved economic performance Barbadians to borrow Speaking before the Bank’s first quarter review, said: “I think it is because have a very low unemployment scenario right now, construction is doing well, which is sign, tourism has done the latter part of the year continuing into this year. All of those are features exemplify an economy potentially growing and and so when you have happening, people will risk for entrepreneurial and people will definitely earning more. “And as people earn want to improve their so you will see things mortgages. We are not the residential mortgage but definitely personal he said. “People travelling and definitely vehicle loans. ripple effect is the improvement overall of tourism, construction, recorded ratio of finance ratio of well above the minimum. “Higher supported among banks. profitability among declined higher Financial executive has seen improved performance prompting borrow more. the Central review, he because you unemployment construction is a good done well in year and year. features that economy that is and active have that will take more entrepreneurial activities, definitely be earn more, they their in lives like more not heavy on mortgage business, personal loans,” and as well, loans. So the improvement construction, and of course, the general distribution trade sector.” Data in the Central Bank’s economic review shows that foreign currency deposits increased from $1.27 billion at the end of December to $1.51 billion at the end of March. Ashby said that with Barbadians able to open foreign currency accounts, foreign exchange trading was an opportunity to cash in on. “We do a lot of commercial transactions so we buy US dollars on the local market, and then we sell those US dollars to corporate entities to buy goods from overseas. Because of the buoyancy of the market, we actually did reasonably well in that space as well,” he said. Another line of revenue “Also on the investment side, we also do attract US dollar investments, and we then actually invest those US dollars as well. So that’s another line of revenue that has been successful for us as well in 2024 and continues into 2025.” He explained: “Our cash position has been boosted in large part by US dollars but obviously we still have Barbados dollars in there as well, but we did increase our US dollar intake. One of the things that we’re out in the market trying to attract now is more deposits. “We want to get US dollar deposits and we want to get more Barbados dollar deposits because more that we can do that the more opportunities we have to support the market in terms of lending and also offering people a good return at the same time.” The financial behaviour of Barbadians is also reflected in the Central Bank report beyond their saving and borrowing habits. Greenidge said that 1.7 per cent expansion in the wholesale and retail sectors reflected increased consumer demand for food, beverages, household appliances, and motor vehicle parts. “Electricity, gas, and water output increased by 2.6 per cent, due to higher consumption across residential, commercial, and industrial users, including ports, tourism-linked enterprises, and medical facilities,” he stated. Greenidge anticipates that the financial sector will remain resilient this year. “Credit to the private sector is projected to increase steadily, supported by ongoing labour market improvements,” he said in the Central Bank’s latest outlook. “Banks and finance companies are expected to maintain robust capital buffers, while liquidity levels should remain elevated. Financial stability indicators continue to point to a healthy and sound system.” (SC) Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.",

      • "description": "特朗普回应“永远不说绝不”,同时表示卡尼无法改变他对关税的想法。",
      • "content": "美国总统特朗普(Donald Trump)本周二在白宫接待了新上任的加拿大总理卡尼(Mark Carney)。在与卡尼会面时,特朗普再度提到将加拿大纳入美国领土的构想,让加拿大成为美国第51州。 他表示,若加拿大成为美国的一部分,将为加拿大人民带来“巨大的税务减免与免费军事保障”。 特朗普说道:“这是一场美妙的结合,一场完美的联姻。你们会免费获得医疗照护、军事保护与其他种种好处。”他进一步指出,身为一名房地产开发商,“我认为从地理上看,美加的结合原本就是天经地义的”。 然而,总理卡尼迅速并坚决地反驳这一说法。他直言:“加拿大不是商品,不会出售,也永远不会出售。”卡尼更巧妙地以特朗普熟悉的房地产语言回应:“如你所知,有些地产从来不会出售。我们现在所坐的白宫就是一个例子。而加拿大也是。” 卡尼的言辞不仅清晰表达立场,更反映了加拿大民意的坚定。他补充:“过去几个月,我与加拿大人民有过深入交流。他们的共识非常明确:这不会发生,永远不会发生。” 不过特朗普回应,打趣说道:“永远不说绝不(Never say never)。” 除此之外,两国间的贸易争端也是本次会谈的焦点。特朗普政府日前对加拿大输美商品加征关税,宣称此举是为了惩罚加拿大未能有效阻止毒品与非法移民,经加美边境进入美国。 当被问及卡尼是否能改变特朗普对关税的想法时,特朗普回答说:“不能。” 3月4日,美国对未受《美墨加协定》(USMCA)涵盖的加拿大商品征收25%的进口关税。特朗普表示,征收这项关税是为了惩罚加拿大向美国走私芬太尼和非法移民。加拿大对美国多种商品征收关税进行报复。 面对特朗普在第一任期内签署的《美墨加协定》将在明年到期,特朗普在会谈中承认《美墨加协定》是对三方都有利的协议,但他同时质疑这份协定是否仍有存在必要。他说:“我愿意重新谈判,但我们真的需要这份协定吗?” 卡尼则表示,加拿大会“基于我们的条件”进行谈判。他指出,《美墨加协定》可作为更广泛贸易协商的基础,但协议中的某些条款必须修改。 此前,卡尼在胜选演讲中表示,加拿大与美国先前建立在“深化经济整合、紧密安全和军事合作”基础上的关系已经结束。他还表示,鉴于特朗普的关税制度,加拿大人必须“从根本上重新构想我们的经济”。 卡尼上周告诉英国广播公司 (BBC),加拿大仅会“按照我们的条件”与美国政府进行贸易和安全谈判。 在卡尼抵达之前,特朗普在社交媒体上写道:“我们不需要他们的汽车,我们不需要他们的能源,我们不需要他们的木材,我们不需要他们拥有的任何东西,除了他们的友谊,希望我们能永远保持这种友谊。” “另一方面,他们需要我们提供一切!”",

      • "content": "美國總統特朗普(Donald Trump)本周二在白宮接待了新上任的加拿大總理卡尼(Mark Carney)。在與卡尼會面時,特朗普再度提到將加拿大納入美國領土的構想,讓加拿大成為美國第51州。 他表示,若加拿大成為美國的一部分,將為加拿大人民帶來“巨大的稅務減免與免費軍事保障”。 特朗普說道:“這是一場美妙的結合,一場完美的聯姻。你們會免費獲得醫療照護、軍事保護與其他種種好處。”他進一步指出,身為一名房地產開發商,“我認為從地理上看,美加的結合原本就是天經地義的”。 然而,總理卡尼迅速並堅決地反駁這一說法。他直言:“加拿大不是商品,不會出售,也永遠不會出售。”卡尼更巧妙地以特朗普熟悉的房地產語言回應:“如你所知,有些地產從來不會出售。我們現在所坐的白宮就是一個例子。而加拿大也是。” 卡尼的言辭不僅清晰表達立場,更反映了加拿大民意的堅定。他補充:“過去幾個月,我與加拿大人民有過深入交流。他們的共識非常明確:這不會發生,永遠不會發生。” 不過特朗普回應,打趣說道:“永遠不說絕不(Never say never)。” 除此之外,兩國間的貿易爭端也是本次會談的焦點。特朗普政府日前對加拿大輸美商品加征關稅,宣稱此舉是為了懲罰加拿大未能有效阻止毒品與非法移民,經加美邊境進入美國。 當被問及卡尼是否能改變特朗普對關稅的想法時,特朗普回答說:“不能。” 3月4日,美國對未受《美墨加協定》(USMCA)涵蓋的加拿大商品徵收25%的進口關稅。特朗普表示,徵收這項關稅是為了懲罰加拿大向美國走私芬太尼和非法移民。加拿大對美國多種商品徵收關稅進行報復。 面對特朗普在第一任期內簽署的《美墨加協定》將在明年到期,特朗普在會談中承認《美墨加協定》是對三方都有利的協議,但他同時質疑這份協定是否仍有存在必要。他說:“我願意重新談判,但我們真的需要這份協定嗎?” 卡尼則表示,加拿大會“基於我們的條件”進行談判。他指出,《美墨加協定》可作為更廣泛貿易協商的基礎,但協議中的某些條款必須修改。 此前,卡尼在勝選演講中表示,加拿大與美國先前建立在“深化經濟整合、緊密安全和軍事合作”基礎上的關係已經結束。他還表示,鑒於特朗普的關稅制度,加拿大人必須“從根本上重新構想我們的經濟”。 卡尼上周告訴英國廣播公司 (BBC),加拿大僅會“按照我們的條件”與美國政府進行貿易和安全談判。 在卡尼抵達之前,特朗普在社交媒體上寫道:“我們不需要他們的汽車,我們不需要他們的能源,我們不需要他們的木材,我們不需要他們擁有的任何東西,除了他們的友誼,希望我們能永遠保持這種友誼。” “另一方面,他們需要我們提供一切!”",

DEARBORN, MI, UNITED STATES, May 6, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- LAHC – Leaders Advancing and Helping Communities proudly announces the awarding of $60,000 in scholarships to 20 exceptional high school seniors across Michigan as part of its continued commitment to supporting education and youth empowerment. This year, LAHC received over 100 scholarship applications from high-achieving, service-driven students throughout the region. Due to financial constraints, only 20 recipients were selected, making this year's awards among the most competitive in the program's history. Applicants were evaluated on academic performance, financial need, community involvement, and a deeply personal 500-word essay. The essay prompt asked students to share a mental health challenge they had faced, how they overcame it, and how they plan to raise awareness and reduce stigma within their communities-an especially timely topic given the rising rates of mental health issues among youth. “These young leaders have not only excelled academically but have shown tremendous courage and compassion in addressing mental health challenges,” said Wassim Mahfouz, Chief Executive Officer of LAHC.“They embody the resilience and leadership we strive to nurture through our programs.” Since its inception, LAHC's Scholarship Program has awarded over $2 million to deserving students across the state, helping to bridge financial gaps and create opportunities for future changemakers. The LAHC Annual Awards Gala is scheduled for Tuesday June 10th, 2025 at the Henry Hotel-Dearborn. This high-profile dinner is proudly presented by Huntington Bank and is considered one of southeast Michigan's premier community events, celebrating local and national leaders whose work advances the well-being of individuals and families.

Drivers face higher repair costs in 2025, and our extended warranty plans at Premier Auto Protect provide practical coverage to ease that burden.” - CEONY, UNITED STATES, May 6, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- As vehicle repair costs surge, Premier Auto Protect announces expanded extended warranty plans to address the rising demand for the best car extended warranty solutions.

Contact Premier Auto Protect at 1-833-699-3130 for personalized assistance in selecting the best car extended warranty for your vehicle. As repair costs escalate, the automotive industry is witnessing a significant shift toward extended warranties. According to a 2024 American Automobile Association (AAA) study, the average vehicle repair cost reached $1,200 per incident, with projections for further increases in 2025 due to advanced components like sensors, electric vehicle batteries, and onboard computers. A 2024 Consumer Reports survey revealed that 55% of car owners are concerned about repair costs after factory warranties expire, and one in three is considering third-party extended warranties to mitigate financial risks. This trend underscores the growing need for comprehensive vehicle protection plans. Premier Auto Protect, headquartered in New York, is meeting this demand with six tiers of coverage: Basic, Value, Complete, Exclusionary, Superior, and Ultimate. These plans cater to diverse vehicle types, including high-mileage cars and electric vehicles, and cover critical components such as engines, transmissions, electrical systems, and air conditioning. Additional benefits include 24/7 roadside assistance, rental car reimbursement, towing services, and trip interruption coverage, ensuring drivers are supported in emergencies. All plans have a 30-day money-back guarantee, allowing customers to purchase confidently. The company's direct-to-consumer model eliminates middlemen, offering competitive pricing and streamlined claims processing. - Comprehensive Coverage: Plans protect against costly repairs for modern vehicle components, with options for basic powertrain coverage to exclusionary bumper-to-bumper protection. - Nationwide Flexibility: Customers can choose any ASE-certified repair facility across the United States, with over 250,000 certified professionals available, ensuring accessibility. - Customer-Centric Benefits: Features like a transferable warranty, a referral program offering 10% premium discounts per referral, and 24/7 support enhance value. - Trusted Reputation: Premier Auto Protect holds an A rating from the Better Business Bureau (accredited since 2022) and a 4-star Trustpilot rating from 634 reviews, reflecting intense customer satisfaction. Economic and technological factors drive the shift to extended warranties. A 2024 Cars report noted that third-party warranties are gaining popularity for their flexibility and affordability compared to factory options, with 70% of Premier Auto Protect's policyholders using coverage for major repairs, saving thousands. The rise in electric vehicle adoption, with 12% of 2024 new car sales being EVs, further necessitates specialized coverage for high-cost components like batteries. Premier Auto Protect's plans are tailored to these evolving needs, positioning the company as a leader in the best car extended warranty market. Customer feedback highlights the company's efficiency and responsiveness.“When my Acura needed repairs, Premier Auto Protect approved the claim within hours,” said Cindy K., a policyholder from California.“The process was seamless, and I had my car back the same day.” However, some customers have reported challenges with claim denials due to title status or pre-existing issues, emphasizing the importance of reviewing contract terms carefully. About Premier Auto Protect Premier Auto Protect, established in 2016 and based in New York, is a leading direct provider of extended vehicle warranties. Offering six coverage tiers and benefits like 24/7 roadside assistance, the company helps drivers nationwide protect against rising repair costs.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - EIN Presswire) Miramar Self-Storage offers secure, short-term storage to help Pembroke Pines families manage student move-outs during the busy summer break season. MIRAMAR, FL, UNITED STATES, May 6, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- As spring semesters come to a close, students from colleges and universities across South Florida are beginning the process of heading home for the summer. For families in Pembroke Pines and surrounding neighborhoods, this time of year often comes with a logistical challenge: what to do with a college student's belongings during the months between leases or while students travel for internships, study abroad programs, or time off. Megacenter Miramar Self-Storage has emerged as a trusted, practical solution that offers peace of mind, flexibility, and convenience during this seasonal transition. Each summer, thousands of students pack up their dorms and off-campus apartments. While the academic year may pause, many students' lives remain in motion. Whether traveling home, taking on short-term housing, or preparing for a fall semester elsewhere, they are often left with furniture, boxes, electronics, and personal items that have no clear place to go. As families in the Pembroke Pines area search for manageable options, self-storage has become more than just a backup plan. It is now part of the standard college routine. Miramar Storage Rental : A Simple Solution for a Seasonal Dilemma: The storage needs of college students are unique. Their move-outs are often temporary, and their belongings are more than just clutter. They include valuable items like laptops, textbooks, kitchenware, and sentimental keepsakes. With apartments rented on academic calendars and dorms closing each May, the summer becomes a gap period where belongings must be protected without burdening family homes. Megacenter Miramar Self-Storage offers a tailored solution for this exact scenario. Its facility, located near key student routes and residential communities in Pembroke Pines and Miramar, serves as a bridge between semesters. Students can store their items safely and retrieve them when fall begins again, avoiding repeated long-distance hauling and last-minute panic. Why Local Families Are Turning to Miramar Self-Storage: While students make the physical move, families are often the ones managing the logistics. Parents who live in Pembroke Pines, Weston, Cooper City, and surrounding areas frequently find themselves trying to help their children coordinate returns from Broward College, Florida Atlantic University, Nova Southeastern University, and other local and regional institutions. With students sometimes hundreds of miles away, arranging transportation, space at home, and interim storage becomes stressful quickly. Miramar Self-Storage offers families and students alike a way to simplify this part of the college journey. Key features designed with summer move-outs in mind include: .Short-term, month-to-month leasing that does not lock users into long-term contracts .A variety of unit sizes, allowing students to store as little as a few boxes or as much as a full apartment setup .Climate-controlled units to protect items from Florida's heat and humidity .24/7 video surveillance and restricted access, offering added security and peace of mind .Online reservation and account management, allowing parents and students to coordinate remotely Storage as a Stress-Reduction Tool: Every year, students and families share the same experience: trying to balance final exams, travel plans, apartment clean-outs, and lease transitions, all within a few hectic weeks. For students who are focused on graduation or moving on to summer internships, storing belongings is one of the last things they want to worry about. By planning ahead and securing storage space early, families can remove one major obstacle from the summer checklist. Megacenter Miramar's location in Pembroke Pines means students do not need to make lengthy detours or complex transportation plans to access storage. In many cases, items can be dropped off on the way out of town, freeing up vehicles and eliminating the need to crowd parents' garages or living rooms. Supporting Different Student Paths: Not every student has the same summer experience. While some return home for a few months, others head to new cities for internships or stay in South Florida in temporary housing. Some graduate and begin new chapters of their lives. Megacenter Miramar Self-Storage has become a solution for a variety of situations, including: .Students returning home out of state who need to leave items behind and return to them in the fall .Interns working in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or West Palm Beach who need temporary storage between short-term leases .International students who are required to vacate their apartments during breaks but plan to return for the next term .Graduating students who are job-hunting and undecided on their next location In each case, a reliable self-storage facility gives students the flexibility to make plans without being constrained by their stuff. Climate-Controlled Storage: More Than a Luxury in Florida: Summer in South Florida brings more than heat. It also brings high humidity and the risk of mold, water damage, and heat-related wear and tear on stored items. For college students storing computers, printers, clothing, textbooks, and dorm furniture, proper storage conditions are essential. Megacenter Miramar Self-Storage offers fully climate-controlled units that maintain stable temperature and humidity levels, reducing the risk of environmental damage during the summer months. This is especially important for electronics, which are often the most expensive items students need to store. Extreme heat can damage internal components and batteries, and paper-based materials like textbooks or notebooks can suffer from prolonged humidity exposure. Parents often cite climate control as one of the top reasons they choose Megacenter's Miramar facility over other alternatives. Storage Tips for First-Time Users: Many college students, especially freshmen and sophomores, are using self-storage for the first time. Megacenter Miramar offers general guidance and best practices to help them pack and store efficiently. Some of the most helpful suggestions include: .Create a packing checklist to avoid leaving behind essential items or packing things unnecessarily .Use sturdy, uniform boxes to maximize stacking and use of space .Label all sides of each box for easy identification when retrieving .Store heavier items on the bottom and fragile items on top to prevent damage .Use mattress covers and protective wrapping for furniture and electronics .Keep an inventory list and a photo record for insurance purposes Miramar Self-Storage staff are available to offer additional advice and help students choose the right unit size for their belongings. Early Planning Prevents Last-Minute Panic: The storage industry sees a sharp spike in demand in May and early June, especially in areas with large student populations. Families in Pembroke Pines often find that units fill up quickly as local schools let out. Reserving early is one of the best ways to secure a convenient location and ensure availability during peak weeks. Students who plan ahead benefit from: .Less expensive transportation costs .Better selection of unit sizes .More time to pack and move without pressure .Avoiding last-minute stress and disorganization Megacenter Miramar encourages students and parents to begin exploring storage options in April or early May. Online reservation tools make it easy to confirm availability and lock in a unit without needing to visit in person. A Neighborhood-Focused Facility with a Student-Friendly Approach: Megacenter Miramar Self-Storage is more than just a storage facility. It is a local partner for families navigating the complexities of college life. The staff at Miramar understand the unique needs of seasonal users, particularly students, and offer flexible support to make the experience as smooth as possible. Located in a clean and well-maintained facility, the Miramar location is easily accessible from major roads and student housing corridors. Its layout allows for quick vehicle access, and the process of unloading is streamlined to reduce hassle. In addition to students, the facility serves residents, small business owners, and professionals throughout the area, creating a community atmosphere rooted in dependability and mutual trust. Storage Is Part of the New College Routine: Today's students are more mobile than ever. Many change housing from year to year, pursue opportunities in other cities or countries, or take time off between semesters. Self-storage is no longer a niche solution. It is now part of the modern college routine. Miramar Self-Storage has adapted its offerings to reflect this reality. Students appreciate the ability to rent units short-term, upgrade or downsize as needed, and access their belongings at convenient hours. This flexibility is especially valuable for those whose academic schedules do not match traditional rental timelines. Supporting Parents and Students Through Life Transitions: College is a time of significant transition, not just for students but for their families. The end of the school year brings a mix of excitement, stress, and uncertainty. Having a reliable place to store belongings removes a major logistical concern and allows families to focus on what matters: supporting their student's journey.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - EIN Presswire) Timothy N. J. Antoine - Governor, Eastern Caribbean Central Bank ECCB Governor Identifies Priority Areas for Increased Collaboration With the IMF Amid Global Uncertainty BASSETERRE, SAINT KITTS AND NEVIS, May 6, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- Governor of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB), Timothy N.J. Antoine has identified four priority areas for increased collaboration between the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This comes against the backdrop of high global economic uncertainty and weakened growth prospects. During the Western Hemisphere Department Director's Meeting with Caribbean Ministers of Finance and Central Bank Governors at the IMF last week, the ECCB Governor welcomed enhanced partnership in the following areas: Macroeconomic Modelling related to shocks, with a view to understanding their impact on Tourism and Citizenship by Investment (CBI/CIP) Programmes within the eight-member ECCU; Debt Sustainability Analyses that are fit for purpose by adequately capturing climatic and other shocks on the member countries of the ECCU; Developing a Green Finance Market in the Currency Union; and Developing Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) strategies. “Data is the new oil and, like oil, it has to be refined and processed to maximise its value,” Governor Antoine said. He added:“We think the Fund can help our Member Countries with respect to our data and AI strategies; that must, of course, include Big Data, as we try to make sense of the world we are in and as we make good policy decisions to meet those challenges.” Last week's gathering was held as part of the 2025 Spring Meetings of the World Bank Group (WBG) and the IMF in Washington, DC. The meeting aimed to further strengthen coordination and open dialogue between the IMF and the Caribbean, while discussing resilience-building strategies. The IMF has a strong tradition of partnership with the ECCU countries and the ECCB. The other members of the ECCB's delegation to the 2025 Spring Meetings were: Dr Emefa Sewordor, Director of Advisory Services in the Governor's Office; and Karen Williams, Director of Projects and Technical Assistance in the Governor's Office.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - EIN Presswire) Timothy N. J. Antoine, Governor, Eastern Caribbean Central Bank At Spring Meetings, ECCB Governor Talked Capacity Building, Credit Guarantees and Catastrophe Risk Pools BASSETERRE, SAINT KITTS AND NEVIS, May 6, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- At the recently held 2025 Spring Meetings in Washington, DC, Governor of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB), Timothy N.J. Antoine discussed challenges and opportunities with respect to mobilising financial resources to meet the development needs of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU). The ECCB Governor , while participating in a Roundtable on Domestic Resource Mobilisation, highlighted the importance of: Local capacity building in high-impact areas, such as physical and digital infrastructure, trade logistics and energy security, particularly in respect of closing policy and regulatory gaps, which act as barriers in attracting private capital to the table for these critical sectors. Encouraging multilateral development banks to get more creative in their deployment of credit guarantees, which in large part are currently not going to low-income countries or to small island developing states (SIDS).“We have to push them to get more creative on that because, to me, that's the only way we are going to be able to bring additional private capital to the table,” Governor Antoine said, noting that,“Our countries need credit enhancement, and that has to come from the guarantees. I really feel this is a missed opportunity where we have to push the envelope to really bring this about.” Catastrophe Risk Pools: In the wake of the devastating passage of Hurricane Ivan in 2004, the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility (CCRIF) commenced operations in 2007, becoming the first multi-country catastrophe risk pool in the world. CCRIF SPC, as it is now called, has inspired ARC in Africa, PCRIC in the Pacific, and SEADRIF in Southeast Asia.“This innovation came from small states and their lived reality of constant climatic shocks. Evidently, we are well able to craft solutions and bring them to life with the right partners,” the ECCB Governor said. Governor Antoine also took the opportunity to hail the work that the Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Amor Mottley, has done in championing the Bridgetown Initiative, not just for the Caribbean but for the people of the Global South. The other members of the ECCB's delegation to the 2025 Spring Meetings were: Dr Emefa Sewordor, Director of Advisory Services in the Governor's Office; and Karen Williams, Director of Projects and Technical Assistance in the Governor's Office.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Antwerp, Belgium, May 6, 2025 – Agomab Therapeutics NV (“Agomab”) today announced late-breaking interim data from the ongoing STENOVA 1 Phase 2a clinical trial for AGMB-129, an oral gastro-intestinal (GI)-restricted small molecule inhibitor of ALK5 (TGF-β RI or ALK5) developed for the potential treatment of Fibrostenosing Crohn's Disease (FSCD). The interim results were presented by Florian Rieder, MD, at Digestive Disease Week ® (DDW) 2025, taking place in San Diego on May 3-6, 2025. STENOVA is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 103 patients with symptomatic FSCD. Patients are randomized to receive one of two doses of AGMB-129 (200mg twice-daily or 100mg once-daily) or placebo for 12 weeks on top of standard of care, including anti-inflammatory biologics. The multi-center study is global with investigational sites in the USA, Canada and Europe. The interim analysis was conducted on the first 44 patients after 12 weeks of treatment and indicated that the primary endpoint of favorable safety and tolerability of AGMB-129 was met at both doses. The severity and incidence of adverse events were similar among treatment arms, including placebo, and there were no signs of cardiac toxicity, no pro-inflammatory effects, and no signals in safety labs, vital signs, physical exams or ECGs. The study also met its two predefined secondary endpoints of pharmacokinetics (PK) and target engagement in the first 44 patients. The PK data indicated very low systemic exposure to AGMB-129 and high exposure to its inactive main metabolite MET-158. These results are consistent with prior data in healthy subjects and support the gut-restricted profile of AGMB-129 in FSCD patients. Target engagement, measured through transcriptomics in mucosal biopsies collected at the site of the ileal strictures at screening and Week 12, showed significant downregulation of both fibrotic (p=0.0036) and inflammatory pathways (p<0.0001) for the high dose cohort versus placebo. A consistent positive trend was also observed for the high dose versus placebo across several exploratory endpoints, including stricturing patient-reported outcome (S-PRO) and disease severity in centrally read Simple Endoscopic Score (SES-CD). The STENOVA study is fully recruited, and on track to report results on 103 patients in the fourth quarter of this year. “Fibrostenosing Crohn's disease is an area of high unmet medical need, and the interim STENOVA results presented at DDW ® show the potential of AGMB-129 as a novel drug candidate for patients. The target engagement data point to the potential dual anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effect of AGMB-129, on top of standard of care. Moreover, the consistent trend observed for several of the exploratory clinical endpoints after 12 weeks is very encouraging,” said Florian Rieder, MD, Vice-Chair Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, Cleveland Clinic, OH . “The positive interim data for the STENOVA Phase 2a clinical trial are an important step forward in the development of our gut-restricted ALK-5 inhibitor AGMB-129 in patients with Fibrostenosing Crohn's disease,” said Philippe Wiesel, Chief Medical Officer at Agomab Therapeutics .“The STENOVA study is now fully recruited, and the swift enrollment underscores the high unmet medical need that exists in this indication. We want to thank all patients and investigators for their participation in this landmark study.” AGMB-129 is an investigational drug and not approved by any regulatory authority. Its efficacy and safety have not been established. About AGMB-129 AGMB-129 is an oral, small molecule GI-restricted inhibitor of ALK5 (or TGF-β RI) currently in clinical development for the treatment of Fibrostenosing Crohn's Disease (FSCD). TGF-β is a major driver of fibrosis. AGMB-129 is specifically designed to inhibit ALK5/TGF-β in the GI-tract. Rapid first-pass metabolism in the liver prevents clinically relevant systemic exposure, potentially delivering an improved safety profile over systemically available inhibitors in this class. In a Phase 1 trial in healthy subjects, single- and multiple-doses of AGMB-129 were generally well-tolerated at all doses tested. In addition, the trial showed high local exposure to AGMB-129 in the ileum but no clinically relevant systemic exposure, demonstrating that the GI restricted mechanism may operate efficiently in humans. AGMB-129 has received U.S. FDA Fast Track Designation. About Fibrostenosing Crohn's Disease Crohn's disease is a chronic progressive disease of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It is estimated that approximately 50% of patients with Crohn's disease develop fibrosis of the GI tract, resulting in stricture (stenosis) formation and intestinal obstructions, most frequently in the terminal ileum. These strictures can cause obstructive symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and severe pain after meals, leading to dietary change, malnutrition and surgery. Despite the large unmet medical need, there are no approved pharmacological therapies for FSCD. About Agomab Agomab is focused on achieving disease modification by modulating inflammation and fibrosis in chronic indications such as Fibrostenosing Crohn's Disease and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. We do this by targeting biologically validated pathways, including Transforming Growth Factor β, and by applying specialized capabilities in organ-restricted small molecules. With a differentiated clinical pipeline across several fibrotic disorders, end-to-end research and development capabilities, a proven track-record and a strong investor base, Agomab is building a transformational company with the aim to have a real impact on patients' lives. About Digestive Disease Week ® Digestive Disease Week ® (DDW) is the largest international gathering of physicians, researchers and academics in the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy and gastrointestinal surgery. Jointly sponsored by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) and the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract (SSAT), DDW is an in-person and online meeting from May 3-6, 2025. The meeting showcases nearly 6,000 abstracts and 1,000 invited talks on the latest advances in GI research, medicine and technology.

ElectricityPlans survey reveals widespread dissatisfaction with electricity prices and trust in the power grid among Houston and Dallas residents. The survey underscores the pressing issues Texans face regarding electricity affordability. Our goal is to give consumers the tools they need to make informed decisions for their home or business.” - Rebecca Bridges, Chief Marketing OfficerHOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, May 6, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- A recent survey conducted by ElectricityPlans highlights growing unease among Texans regarding escalating electricity costs and the reliability of the state's power grid. The April 2025 survey sheds light on consumer sentiments in major urban centers, including Houston and Dallas. Key Findings: .Rising Electricity Bills: Approximately 74% of respondents reported an increase in their electricity bills over the past year. This trend aligns with statewide data indicating that average electricity prices in Texas have surged by over 60% between January 2021 and March 2025, rising from 10¢ per kWh to over 16¢ per kWh for a 12-month contract. .Primary Concern? Price: When selecting an electricity provider, 60% of Texans prioritize price above other factors, indicating a strong sensitivity to cost in the current market. .Efforts to Reduce Costs: Over 90% of those surveyed have taken steps to lower their electricity expenses, such as adjusting thermostat settings, switching providers, or investing in energy-efficient appliances. .Distrust in Grid Reliability: More than half (54%) of respondents expressed a lack of trust in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid's ability to handle extreme weather events, reflecting ongoing concerns about infrastructure resilience. An additional 30% remain uncertain about the grid's resilience. .Investment in Backup Power: Facing frequent outages-experienced by over 85% of respondents in the past year- 38% of Texans have purchased backup power sources. Among these, 48% opted for portable generators, 27% for standby generators and 13% for backup batteries. ElectricityPlans, a Houston-based company, offers a platform for consumers to compare electricity plans and rates, aiming to simplify the process of selecting an energy provider in Texas's deregulated market.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Yolo Wire) The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed its decision on a proposed spot %Litecoin (CRYPTO: $LTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF). Canary Capital has applied to launch an ETF that would track the spot price of Litecoin, a leading cryptocurrency and one of the larger “altcoins” that are any crypto other than %Bitcoin (CRYPTO: $BTC). The Wall Street regulator’s delay of the Litecoin ETF comes after the agency also delayed several other applications for spot crypto ETFs, including ones proposed for XRP (CRYPTO: $XRP) and %Dogecoin (CRYPTO: $DOGE). Crypto enthusiasts had high hopes that the Litecoin ETF from Canary Capital would get the greenlight from the SEC. But now, the securities regulator has announced a delay in its decision and taken the added step of opening a public comment period related to the Litecoin ETF. “The Commission seeks comment on whether the proposal to list and trade Shares of the Trust, which would hold LTC, is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices or raises any new or novel concerns not previously contemplated by the Commission,” wrote the SEC in a notice announcing the delay in its decision. Canary Capital applied for the Litecoin ETF last October. Litecoin currently has a $6.6 billion U.S. market capitalization and is a cryptocurrency that runs on an open source blockchain whose code is copied directly from Bitcoin. Asset managers are eagerly awaiting decisions on a new crop of cryptocurrency ETFs under new SEC Chair Paul Atkins, who took the helm of the regulator in April of this year. Crypto bulls have been calling for new ETFs that track the spot price of various cryptocurrencies such as XRP, Dogecoin, %Solana (CRYPTO: $SOL) and Litecoin. There haven’t been any new crypto ETFs approved since spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ones were given the greenlight in the first half of 2024. Litecoin is currently trading at $81.97 U.S., having declined 21% this year.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - The Rio Times) Brazil's small industrial firms face a crisis of confidence as 2025 unfolds, according to the latest data from the Confederação Nacional da Indústria (CNI). The Industrial Entrepreneur Confidence Index (ICEI) dropped to 48 points in April, its lowest since July 2020. This marks the fifth month below the neutral 50-point line, signaling persistent pessimism among business owners. The survey, which covers 2,500 companies, highlights how high interest rates, a weakening real, and global trade uncertainties are weighing on sentiment. Manufacturing activity remains fragile. The S&P Global Brazil Manufacturing PMI slipped to 50.3 in April, its lowest since December 2023, indicating near stagnation. New orders declined for the first time in 16 months, while production growth slowed sharply. Companies reported higher costs and market uncertainty, with many forced to offer discounts to stimulate sales. Labor shortages and shrinking inventories add to the pressure, and firms worry that continued weak demand could push the sector into outright contraction. Financial health has deteriorated for small manufacturers. The index measuring their financial situation fell to 40.6 in early 2025, reflecting tighter profit margins and more difficulty accessing credit. Small firms cite high taxes as their top concern, followed closely by insufficient domestic demand and the rising cost or scarcity of raw materials. Brazil's Industry Faces Headwinds Amid High Rates In construction, high borrowing costs and weak demand also top the list of challenges, despite government programs aimed at boosting housing and infrastructure. Regional disparities have grown more pronounced. Industrial confidence fell sharply in Brazil's South and Northeast, while the North and Midwest showed modest optimism. This uneven landscape complicates efforts to craft effective policy responses. Despite a rebound in agriculture and some resilience in machinery and automotive sectors, the broader outlook remains cautious. Inflation expectations for 2025 stand at 5.57%, and the central bank's benchmark rate sits at 14.25%, making credit costly. The real continues to weaken against the dollar, further eroding purchasing power. Business leaders see few easy fixes. As new orders falter and financial pressures mount, small industrial firms must navigate a tough environment. Without a clear rebound in demand or relief from high borrowing costs, confidence is unlikely to recover soon.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - The Rio Times) Moody's vice president Jaime Reusche spoke at a Buenos Aires event, outlining Argentina's credit outlook. He said Moody's could gradually upgrade the sovereign rating if fiscal discipline and sustained disinflation persist. He projected 30 percent inflation by year-end but said April and May readings could prompt a downward revision. He noted inflation fell to 118 percent in 2024 from 211 percent in 2023. He credited President Javier Milei's spending cuts and monetary tightening for that decline. The agency upgraded Argentina's foreign-currency rating to Caa3 in January and set its outlook to positive. That rating still ranks near the bottom and signals very high credit risk. Moody's forecasts 4 percent GDP growth in 2025, below the 5 percent market consensus. The IMF provided US$20 billion under a fresh agreement, delaying any market return until after 2025. Meanwhile, Peru faces 10 percent US tariffs on 70 percent of its exports. It also faces a 155 percent US levy on Chinese imports, threatening trade flows and commodity markets. Peru's economy shrank 0.4 percent in 2023 then rebounded with 3.3 percent growth in 2024. Markets expect about 4 percent growth in 2025, placing Peru among the region's fastest economies. China absorbs 30 percent of Peru's exports and 70 percent of its copper shipments. That reliance stems from a 2009 free trade agreement that boosted shipments from $5.5 billion to $23 billion. Analysts warn that China's slowing growth will compound Peru's trade risks. Both Argentina and Peru now face key tests as they navigate global pressures. Their success will hinge on sustainable reforms and market access. MENAFN06052025007421016031ID1109515192 Legal Disclaimer: MENAFN provides the information “as is” without warranty of any kind.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - The Rio Times) A new wave of U.S. tariffs and a slowdown in China's economy now threaten to drag down Peru's growth, according to recent statements from Peru's central bank and detailed economic analysis. The U.S. has imposed a 10% tariff on about 70% of Peruvian exports, while China faces a base 10% tariff and an additional 145% levy from the U.S. These measures have already started to reshape global trade flows and unsettle commodity markets. Peru's economy, which shrank by 0.4% in 2023, rebounded with a 3.3% expansion last year and is projected to grow by about 4% in 2025. This would place Peru among the fastest-growing economies in Latin America. However, officials and analysts warn that the combined impact of U.S. tariffs and China's decelerating growth could erode these gains. The central bank's chief economist, Adrian Armas, describes the tariff impact as moderate for now, but acknowledges that ongoing uncertainty clouds the outlook. China absorbs 30% of Peru' exports, with 70% of Peru's copper shipments going to China. This heavy reliance on mineral exports creates a vulnerability: if China's demand falls, Peru has few alternative markets. The Free Trade Agreement signed in 2009 intensified this dependency, with Peru's exports to China jumping from $5.5 billion in 2010 to $23 billion in recent years. In contrast, value-added sectors like textiles and agriculture make up less than 5% of exports to China, while they account for over 50% of exports to the U.S. and EU. Recent forecasts paint a challenging picture for China. Moody's projects China's GDP growth will slow to 3.8% in 2025, well below the official 5% target. J.P. Morgan expects a 0.7 percentage point drag on China's growth due to tariffs, with global recession odds at 60%. Peru Faces Rising Trade Risks Amid U.S.-China Tensions China's export sector, which drove much of its recent growth, now faces declining U.S. demand and barriers to redirecting shipments elsewhere. The U.S.-China trade war has also complicated Peru's inflation outlook and raised the risk of a global recession. BBVA Research estimates that a universal 10% U.S. tariff could reduce Peru's exports by $61 million, while reciprocal tariffs could cut exports by $760 million, or 0.26% of GDP. The impact on investment decisions and business confidence remains uncertain, as tariff measures have not been fully implemented. Peru's government and business leaders are exploring ways to diversify export markets and reduce exposure to external shocks. However, the country's economic fortunes remain closely tied to the evolving trade dynamics between the world's two largest economies. As U.S. and Chinese policies continue to shift, Peru faces a delicate balancing act to sustain growth and protect its key industries.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - The Rio Times) The U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that the U.S. trade deficit soared to a record $140.5 billion in March 2025. This marks a 14% increase from February's revised deficit of $123.2 billion. The jump comes as American businesses rushed to import goods before new tariffs took effect in April. Imports reached a historic high of $419.0 billion in March, up 4.4% from the previous month. Goods imports alone rose 5.4% to $346.8 billion. Exports also set a record at $278.5 billion, though the increase was modest at just 0.2%. The goods deficit hit $163.5 billion, its highest ever, while the services surplus slipped slightly to $23.0 billion. The rush to import ahead of tariffs had a clear impact on the broader economy. Real net exports, which measure exports minus imports, fell sharply. The annualized rate dropped to minus $1.37 trillion in the first quarter of 2025. This marks a decline from minus $1.05 trillion in the previous quarter. This import surge subtracted a record 4.83 percentage points from first-quarter GDP, pushing the U.S economy into a 0.3% contraction-the first decline in three years. President Donald Trump's tariff policy drove the import spike. The administration raised tariffs on Chinese goods to as high as 145%. Most new tariffs began in early April. U.S. Trade Deficit Surges Ahead of Tariff Implementation However, duties on Chinese imports took effect immediately, prompting a scramble by businesses to stock up before costs increased. Tariffs on other trading partners were delayed for 90 days, set to start in July unless further negotiations alter the timeline. While the stated goal of these tariffs was to reduce the trade deficit, the immediate result proved the opposite. Companies accelerated imports to avoid higher costs, inflating the deficit to unprecedented levels. Economists expect this front-loading effect to fade by May, which could lead to a drop in imports and potentially support a GDP rebound in the second quarter. However, the longer-term effects of the tariffs on both imports and exports remain uncertain. The March trade figures highlight how policy changes can drive significant shifts in business behavior and the broader economy. The record deficit underscores the complexity of using tariffs as a tool to manage trade balances. As the new tariffs take hold, all eyes will be on how U.S. trade flows adjust and whether the deficit narrows as intended, or if further disruptions emerge.

Bruce Mac Master raised questions over the initiative's goals, strategy and its commercial impact in Colombia. Negotiations began in 2024 when China offered to reach consensus and advance Colombia's adhesion. Foreign Minister Murillo formed a joint working group with China to negotiate Colombia's adhesion within a reasonable timeframe. DANE reported that China accounted for 27.4 percent of Colombia's imports in the latest two months. The United States remained second at 24.5 percent. That partnership left a bilateral deficit of US $2.431 billion in that period. Colombia mainly imports vehicles from China and gasoline plus light oils from the United States. January trade deficit reached US $1.279 billion after a 17.9 percent annual rise. Trade experts cite persistent imbalances as China now ranks as Colombia's top import source. US chargé d'affaires John McNamara warned that ties with non-democratic China could strain relations with Washington. He urged officials to consider the United States' key role as a top investor and trading partner. China unveiled the Belt and Road Initiative in 2013 to link markets across continents through infrastructure projects. Colombia and China elevated their ties to a strategic partnership after President Petro's visit to Beijing in October 2023. Accession would unlock Chinese financing for transport, energy, telecommunications and port upgrades across Colombia. Colombia faces the challenge of securing capital for modernization while safeguarding fiscal sovereignty and allies.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - The Rio Times) Brazil's stock market is attracting foreign capital again after a year of historic outflows, according to data from B3, the country's main exchange. In the first four months of 2025, foreign investors injected over R$10.8 billion ($1.8 billion) into Brazilian equities. This marks a sharp turnaround from 2024, when withdrawals reached a record R$32.4 billion ($5.4 billion). The renewed inflow reflects shifting global risk appetites and changing trade dynamics. April 2025 saw a modest outflow of R$133.6 million ($22 million), the first monthly setback this year. This retreat followed new U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, which rattled markets and triggered reciprocal measures from Brazil. The U.S. set a 10% tariff on all Brazilian exports, with steel and aluminum facing a 25% rate. These measures raised fears of a global slowdown and prompted investors to reassess emerging market exposure. Despite this volatility, the overall foreign investment balance for 2025 remains positive. The rebound comes after Brazil's market suffered in 2024 from fiscal uncertainty, global monetary tightening, and weak commodity prices. The Ibovespa index, Brazil's main benchmark, slumped 30% in dollar terms last year but has since climbed 18% in 2025. Brazilian stocks now trade at a discount compared to peers, making them attractive for value-seeking investors. Foreign participation in B3's trading volume has risen to 55.8%, the highest since 2019. Investors favor large, liquid companies such as Petrobras, Vale, and Nubank. These firms benefit from Brazil's strong export base and the country's position as a major supplier of food and minerals. The Brazilian real has also appreciated, reaching its highest level since October 2024, as capital returns and local interest rates remain high. However, the outlook is mixed. U.S. tariffs and global trade tensions could still disrupt capital flows. Brazil's new reciprocity law allows swift countermeasures against foreign trade barriers, but the country's export sectors-especially steel, aluminum, and agribusiness-face uncertainty. Analysts warn that redirected exports from other countries, such as China and Mexico, could intensify competition in Brazil's domestic market. Meanwhile, Brazil's fiscal challenges and upcoming elections add further risk. Still, some economists see opportunity. Higher tariffs on competitors may boost demand for Brazilian commodities, as happened during the previous U.S.-China trade war. Chinese investment in Brazilian infrastructure could also rise if global supply chains shift. For now, Brazil's stock market offers relative value and liquidity, drawing investors seeking alternatives to volatile developed markets.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - The Rio Times) Embraer reported an adjusted net loss of R$428.5 million ($71 million) in the first quarter of 2025, according to its 1Q25 earnings release. The figure reverses a R$1.09 billion ($182 million) profit in the prior quarter. The result also surpasses the R$63.5 million ($11 million) loss recorded in first quarter 2024. Revenues reached R$6.405 billion ($1.067 billion) in 1Q25, marking the strongest first quarter since 2016. Adjusted EBITDA totaled R$620.6 million ($103 million), with a 9.7% margin. The compan booked adjusted EBIT of R$359.2 million ($60 million), corresponding to a 5.6% margin. Commercial Aviation revenues rose 16% year-over-year, while Executive Aviation climbed 57%. Defense & Security segment achieved 72% growth. Services & Support increased revenues by 37%. Deliveries totaled 30 jets, up 20% from 25 units a year earlier. The company delivered seven commercial and 23 executive jets in 1Q25. Deliveries accounted for 13% of the midpoint of its 231-aircraft guidance. The firm order backlog rose 25% year-over-year to US$26.4 billion, eclipsing the record set in the previous quarter. Embraer extended debt duration to 6.3 years, up from 3.8 years. It ended the quarter with a 0.5x net debt-to-EBITDA ratio, down from 1.8x a year earlier. At quarter end, the company held R$9.9 billion ($1.650 billion) in cash and equivalents, supported by an undrawn US$1 billion credit facility. Embraer issued a US$650 million ten-year bond and repurchased US$672 million in bonds maturing in 2027 and 2028. It approved R$51.4 million ($9 million) in dividends related to 2024. The company posted adjusted free cash flow excluding Eve of US$(385.8) million as it built inventory ahead of higher deliveries. Embraer Reaffirms 2025 Outlook Amid Delivery Delays Embraer reiterated its 2025 guidance, forecasting 77–85 commercial and 145–155 executive aircraft deliveries. It expects total revenues between US$7.0 billion and US$7.5 billion, an adjusted EBIT margin of 7.5%–8.3%, and adjusted free cash flow above US$200 million. The company emphasized that U.S. tariffs did not affect its first quarter results. It cited supply chain constraints that delayed two commercial jet deliveries in the quarter. Embraer ranked as the world's third-largest commercial aircraft manufacturer and leads the executive jet market. Its growing focus on services and defense aims to offset commercial cycle swings. Industry recovery accelerated Embraer's order momentum across commercial and executive segments. Post-pandemic travel rebound boosted regional jet demand, aiding its commercial backlog growth. Military modernization programs in Latin America and Europe favored its Defense & Security sales. Corporate fleet renewals sustained steady executive jet deliveries and backlog expansion. Despite the loss, investors responded positively, lifting its share price in after-hours trading. They focused on record revenues, expanding backlog, and improved debt metrics. Analysts will watch second-quarter delivery ramp-up and free cash flow improvement. They will also track contract signings for the ANA E190-E2 order and other potential large deals.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - The Rio Times) Brazilian football clubs have entered 2024 with record revenues but also with unprecedented financial losses and ballooning debts, according to data from official club statements and industry reports. The 20 largest clubs combined for a net deficit exceeding R$1 billion ($167 million), a sharp reversal from the R$1.1 billion ($183 million) surplus achieved in 2023. This financial swing highlights the risks of aggressive spending, reliance on future income, and the challenge of maintaining competitiveness while seeking financial stability. São Paulo FC's situation illustrates the broader trend. The club posted a record deficit of R$287.6 million ($48 million) in 2024, despite generating R$731.9 million ($122 million) in revenue. Its total debt soared to R$968.2 million ($161 million), up from R$666.6 million ($111 million) the previous year. São Paulo's management responded by raising R$135 million ($23 million) through a credit rights fund and plans to inject another R$240 million ($40 million) to manage cash flow and settle short-term obligations. However, the club's financial strategy leans heavily on future receivables, with more than R$2 billion ($333 million) guaranteed until 2030, making São Paulo dependent on anticipated income rather than current liquidity. Brazil's Top Football Clubs See Record Revenues Other major clubs also reported significant losses. Bahia's deficit reached R$246.5 million ($41 million), Corinthians lost R$181.8 million ($30 million), Cruzeiro posted a R$169.9 million ($28 million) shortfall, and Coritiba ended R$139.4 million ($23 million) in the red. Only a handful of clubs reported profits: Palmeiras (R$198.2 million/$33 million), Cuiabá (R$64.8 million/$11 million), Grêmio (R$43.6 million/$7 million), Red Bull Bragantino (R$31 million/$5 million), Athletico Paranaense (R$23.4 million/$4 million), and Fluminense (R$100,000/$17,000). The surge in revenue, totaling R$10.9 billion ($1.82 billion) for the top 20 clubs, came mainly from player transfers (R$2.9 billion/$483 million), marketing (R$1.9 billion/$317 million), and stable broadcasting rights (R$3.3 billion/$550 million). However, football-related costs also soared, reaching R$8.7 billion ($1.45 billion), up 26% from the previous year. Clubs spent heavily to remain competitive, pushing debts to R$12 billion ($2 billion), close to the 2020 peak. The financial model of Brazilian football clubs remains fragile. Many clubs rely on selling players and advancing future income to cover rising costs. The shift to the SAF (Sociedade Anônima do Futebol) model, which allows clubs to attract investors, has increased valuations but has not solved the underlying debt problem. The story behind the figures is clear: while revenues hit new highs, unchecked spending and dependence on future earnings have put Brazil's football giants on a precarious financial path.

The meeting comes as both countries continue to enforce tit-for-tat tariffs, with no resolution yet in sight. “It's important to get engaged immediately, which has always been my intention, has always been his intention,” Carney told reporters in Ottawa.“And I'm pleased to have the opportunity for quite a comprehensive set of meetings.” Trump questions US support for Canada ahead of meeting Just hours before his first face-to-face meeting with Canadian Prime Minister, Trump took to Truth Social to question the fundamentals of the US-Canada relationship, claiming America is unfairly subsidizing its northern neighbor. “I look forward to meeting the new Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney,” Trump wrot on Tuesday morning.“I very much want to work with him, but cannot understand one simple TRUTH - Why is America subsidizing Canada by $200 Billion Dollars a year, in addition to giving them FREE Military Protection, and many other things?” The post escalates tensions ahead of what are expected to be tough talks between the two leaders, who have publicly disagreed on trade, sovereignty, and the future of bilateral ties. Trump: \"We don't need anything they have\" In his post, Trump asserted that the US does not need Canada's exports -“Cars,”“Energy,”“Lumber” - and implied that Canada is overly reliant on the United States.“They, on the other hand, need EVERYTHING from us!” Trump wrote.“The Prime Minister will be arriving shortly and that will be, most likely, my only question of consequence.” Focus on trade and sovereignty The discussions will center on what Carney called“trade pressures and the broader future economic and security relationship.” He warned that while talks would be“difficult, they will be constructive,” and cautioned that no immediate deal on the ongoing trade war should be expected. Carney, a former central banker, swept to power with promises to stand up to Trump's“aggression” and to protect Canadian sovereignty. In his victory speech , Carney declared,“We are over the shock of American betrayal. But we should never forget the lessons.” The 51st state remark lingers Trump struck a more ambiguous tone, saying last week he was“not sure” what Carney wanted to discuss during the meeting. However, he added,“Canada wants to make a deal.” He also referenced Carney's visit during a Cabinet meeting earlier in the week, saying the prime minister would be in Washington“within the next week or less.” Trump's repeated remarks about Canada becoming the 51st US state continue to provoke backlash. Carney has pushed back firmly, stating,“The old economic and security relationship with the US is over.” The Canadian prime minister confirmed Trump did bring up the statehood suggestion in their most recent phone call. Tariffs and fentanyl dispute The trade war began in February when Trump signed an executive order imposing tariffs on Canadian steel, automobiles , and other goods, citing Canada's alleged role in the fentanyl crisis. Canada responded with C$60 billion (US$43.5 billion) in retaliatory tariffs on a wide range of American products, including autos.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Live Mint) Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was welcomed to the White House on Tuesday (May 6) by US President Donald Trump in their first in-person meeting, setting the stage for high-stakes talks on trade and sovereignty - and reigniting controversy over Trump's provocative remarks about Canadian statehood. Carney arrived at the White House in the afternoon and was greeted by Trump outside the White House. The two leaders smiled and shook hands for the cameras before proceeding to the Oval Office. “It's a great honor to have the Canadian leader at the White House,” Trump said, congratulating Carney on his“very big” election win. While Carney and Trump have spoken by phone since the Canadian election , this was their first face-to-face interaction. Trump revives 51st state idea During the brief photo op in the Oval Office, Trump again floated the idea of Canada becoming the 51st US state - a suggestion that has repeatedly sparked backlash. “I still believe that, but ... it takes two to tango,” Trump said. He went on to claim that such a move would bring“a massive tax cut” for Canadians and“a lot of advantages.” Referring to the US-Canada border, Trump added,“Somebody drew that line many years ago with like, a ruler - just a straight line right across the top of the country. When you get rid of that artificially drawn line... that's the way it was meant to be.” \"When you look at that beautiful formation, when it's together ... when I looked at that, you know, I said, that's the way it was meant to be.\" Calling the hypothetical union“a wonderful marriage,” Trump said,“It's two places that get along very well. They like each other a lot.” Carney pushes back: 'Not for sale' Carney , known for his assertive stance on Canadian sovereignty, responded pointedly using Trump's real estate analogy. “There are some places that are never for sale,” he said, gesturing around the Oval Office.“It's not for sale, won't be for sale ever.” The Canadian leader also acknowledged having addressed Trump's comments with his own citizens.“I've spoken to Canadians about it,” Carney said.“They've been very clear.” Trump, undeterred, responded several times with his trademark refrain:“Never say never.” Talks continue behind closed doors The Oval Office exchange, though lighthearted in tone, underscored deeper tensions between the two countries. The leaders are expected to discuss trade disputes, retaliatory tariffs, and the future of the economic and security relationship between the US and Canada in a closed-door session. Both sides have signaled that while progress may be slow, the talks will be candid - and closely watched.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Live Mint) In their first in-person meeting since Mark Carney became Canadian Prime Minister, US President Donald Trump hosted him at the White House on Tuesday (May 6). While the meeting was marked by diplomatic courtesies and mutual praise, stark disagreements emerged on trade, sovereignty, and future relations. Here are the key takeaways from the high-stakes Oval Office exchange: 1 dismisses tariff relief:“No” US President Donald Trump flatly rejected the possibility of lifting tariffs on Canadian imports during a high-profile Oval Office meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Tuesday. Asked if Carney could say anything to persuade him to end tariffs on Canadian goods, Trump gave a one-word answer:“No.” 2.“We don't want cars from Canada” Though Trump described the meeting as“a very friendly conversation,” his comments made clear that trade friction remains a sticking point. “We don't really want cars from Canada,” Trump said.“We don't want steel from Canada because we're making our own steel.” The remarks reinforce Trump's long-standing protectionist stance and signal a tough road ahead for any trade flexibility with America's northern neighbor. 3. USMCA a“good deal,” but Canada wants more Trump praised the USMCA trade agreement - the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement that replaced NAFTA - as“a good deal for everybody.” Carney , however, suggested that the deal might only be a starting point for further talks. “It's a basis for a broader negotiation,” Carney said.“Some things about it are going to have to change.” “It's a great honor to have the Canadian leader at the White House,” Trump said, praising Carney's recent election win .“He won a very big election.” 4. Trump takes credit for Carney's win During brief remarks to reporters, Trump credited himself with playing a role in Carney's political success . “I think I was probably the greatest thing that happened to him,” Trump said.“His party was losing a lot, and he ended up winning. So I really want to congratulate him, probably one of the greatest comebacks in the history of politics, maybe even greater than mine.” 5. Carney responds: 'Transformational President' In response, Carney described Trump as a“transformational president” and said he shared a similar vision for Canada's direction. “I've been elected in order to transform Canada with a similar focus-on the economy and securing borders,” Carney said.“The history of Canada and the US is [that] we're stronger when we work together.” 6. 'Friendship' as Trump's only concession When asked by a reporter what concession he would offer in talks with Canada , Trump replied,“Friendship.” Challenged that friendship wasn't exactly a concession, Trump clarified,“I just would be friends with Canada, regardless of anything. We're going to be friends with Canada. Canada is a very special place to me.” 7. Trump floats 51st State idea - again, Carney pushes back Reviving a provocative notion, Trump suggested Canada could become the 51st US state , calling it“a wonderful marriage” and downplaying the legitimacy of the US-Canada border as an“artificial line.” Carney firmly rejected any notion of annexation, declaring,“It's not for sale, won't be for sale ever,” and reaffirmed Canadian sovereignty as non-negotiable.

Alignment on Ukraine, some common ground Trump said he and Carney have“a lot of things in common” but acknowledged there are“some tough points to go over.” One of those, he confirmed, is the ongoing war in Ukraine. “Carney wants it ended as quickly as I do,” Trump noted, signaling potential alignment on foreign policy goals.

It has also launched a call for proposals for the event, which this year will focus on digital trade. The 2025 Public Forum will examine how a modernized, digitalized trading system can improve living standards, create jobs and support sustainable resource management. Participants will explore both the risks and opportunities presented by emerging digital tools. We stand at a critical moment to reflect on and harness the transformative powers of digital trade. The 2025 Public Forum will explore how digital advancements are redefining standards within the international trading system and enhancing global connectivity, innovation, and cooperation. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the surge in e-commerce, and advanced trade facilitation methods are spearheading an economic revolution. These developments occur against the backdrop of complex geopolitical dynamics and pressing global challenges. A modernized, digitised trading system offers the potential to improve living standards, create jobs, and sustain our resources – directly echoing the commitments of the Marrakesh Agreement. Achieving this vision will require a commitment to partnership, innovation and strategic foresight. It is also crucial to incorporate developing- and Least-Developed Countries into the digital economy. As the WTO marks its 30th anniversary, the Forum is an opportune moment to reflect on the digital transformations shaping our interconnected global economy and to explore the future. Participants will evaluate both the risks and opportunities presented by an evolving set of digital tools, aiming to empower small businesses, widen market access, and preserve a more robust digital trading environment. Establishing a coherent global framework for digital trade rules is essential to effectively address and capitalize on the shifts brought about by the digital economy – let's enhance, create, and preserve a robust digital trading environment.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Caribbean News Global) GENEVA, Switzerland – A global report published by the World Health Organization (WHO) highlights that the underlying causes of ill health often stem from factors beyond the health sector, such as lack of quality housing, education and job opportunities. The new World report on social determinants of health equity shows that such determinants can be responsible for a dramatic reduction of healthy life expectancy – sometimes by decades – in high- and low-income countries alike. For example, people in the country with the lowest life expectancy will, on average, live 33 years shorter than those born in the country with the highest life expectancy. The social determinants of health equity can influence people's health outcomes more than genetic influences or access to health care. “Our world is an unequal one. Where we are born, grow, live, work and age significantly influences our health and well-being,” said WHO director-general Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.“But change for the better is possible. This world report illustrates the importance of addressing the interlinked social determinants and provides evidence-based strategies and policy recommendations to help countries improve health outcomes for all.” The report underscores that inequities in health are closely linked to degrees of social disadvantage and levels of discrimination. Health follows a social gradient whereby the more deprived the area in which people live, the lower their incomes are and they have fewer years of education, poorer health, with less number of healthy years to live. These inequities are exacerbated in populations that face discrimination and marginalization. One of the vivid examples is the fact that Indigenous Peoples have lower life expectancy than non-Indigenous Peoples in high- or low-income countries alike. Social injustice driving inequities The World report on social determinants of health equity is the first of its kind published since 2008 when the WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health released its final report laying out targets for 2040 for reducing gaps between and within countries in life expectancy, childhood and maternal mortality. The 2025 world report, shows that these targets are likely to be missed. Although data is scarce, there is sufficient evidence to show that health inequities within countries are often widening. WHO data cites that children born in poorer countries are 13 times more likely to die before the age of 5 than in wealthier countries. Modelling shows that the lives of 1.8 million children annually could be saved by closing the gap and enhancing equity between the poorest and wealthiest sectors of the population within low- and-middle-income countries. The report shows that while there was a 40 percent decline in maternal mortality globally between 2000 and 2023, low- and lower-middle-income countries still account for 94 percent of maternal deaths. Women from disadvantaged groups are more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes. In many high-income countries, racial and ethnic inequities in maternal death rates persist, for example, in some areas Indigenous women were up to three times more likely to die during childbirth. There are also strong associations between higher levels of gender inequality, including child marriage, and higher maternal mortality rates. Breaking the cycle WHO emphasizes that measures to address income inequality, structural discrimination, conflict and climate disruptions are key to overcoming deep-seated health inequities. Climate change, for example, is estimated to push an additional 68–135 million people into extreme poverty over the next five years. Currently, 3.8 billion people worldwide are deprived of adequate social protection coverage, such as child/paid sick leave benefits, with direct and lasting impact on their health outcomes. High debt burdens have been crippling the capacity of governments to invest in these services, with the total value of interest payments made by the world's 75 poorest countries increasing fourfold over the past decade. WHO calls for collective action from national and local governments and leaders within health, academia, research, civil society, alongside the private sector to: Address economic inequality and invest in social infrastructure and universal public services; Overcome structural discrimination and the determinants and impacts of conflicts, emergencies and forced migration; Manage the challenges and opportunities of climate action and the digital transformation to promote health equity co-benefits; and Promote governance arrangements that prioritize action on the social determinants of health equity, including maintaining cross-government policy platforms and strategies, allocating money, power and resources to the most local level where it can have greatest impact, and empowering community engagement and civil society.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Caribbean News Global) WASHINGTON, USA – Today, the US Food and Drug Administration announced its intent to expand the use of unannounced inspections at foreign manufacturing facilities that produce foods, essential medicines, and other medical products intended for American consumers and patients. This change builds upon the agency's Office of Inspection and Investigations Foreign Unannounced Inspection Pilot program in India and China and aims to ensure that foreign companies will receive the same level of regulatory oversight and scrutiny as domestic companies. “For too long, foreign companies have enjoyed a double standard-given advanced notice before facility inspections, while American manufacturers are held to rigorous standards with no such warning. That ends today. This is a key step for the FDA as part of a broader strategy to get foreign inspections back on track,” said FDA Commissioner Martin A. Makary, M.D, M.P.H. In addition, the FDA will evaluate the agency's policies and practices for improvements to the foreign inspection program to ensure that the FDA is the gold standard for regulatory oversight. These changes will include clarifying policies for FDA investigators to refuse travel accommodations from regulated industry including lodging and transportation arrangements (taxi, limousine, and for-hire vehicle transit), to maintain the integrity of the oversight process. The FDA conducts approximately 12,000 domestic inspections and 3,000 foreign inspections each year in more than 90 countries. While US manufacturers undergo frequent, unannounced inspections, foreign firms have often had weeks to prepare, undermining the integrity of the oversight process. Despite the advanced warning that foreign firms receive, the FDA still found serious deficiencies more than twice as often than during domestic inspections. Only in specific programs and cases are the FDA's domestic inspections pre-announced to assure that appropriate records and personnel will be available during the inspection. But regulated companies do not have the authority to negotiate the day or time of the inspection- nor should foreign companies have the capability to do so either. With this shift, the FDA is further ensuring that every product entering the US is safe, legitimate, and honestly made. Unannounced inspections will also help expose bad actors-those who falsify records or conceal violations-before they can put American lives at risk. The FDA is authorized to take regulatory action against any firm that seeks to delay, deny, or limit an inspection, or refuses to permit entry for an unannounced drug or device inspection. “The FDA's rigorous, science-based global inspections of manufacturing facilities ensure that the food and drug products that enter the U.S. marketplace, and the homes of American consumers, are safe, trusted, and accessible,” said FDA Assistant Commissioner for Inspections and Investigations Michael Rogers.“These inspections provide real-time evidence and insights that are essential for making fact-based regulatory decisions to protect public health.” The FDA's global inspections generate real-time intelligence that strengthens enforcement and keeps American families safe. Every inspection goes through a classification assignment process to enable an appropriate regulatory response. Even inspections that yield a“No Action Indicated” provide important regulatory intelligence that strengthens the safety net for American consumers. This expanded approach marks a new era in FDA enforcement-stronger, smarter, and unapologetically in support the public health and safety of Americans.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Caribbean News Global) Geneva, Switzerland – The global copper industry is entering a pivotal phase – one not only requiring more production, but also smarter, more inclusive and technologically driven growth strategies. Global demand set to rise 40 percent by 2040, but supply remains under strain China dominates the processing of many critical minerals Developing countries risk missing out on value-added opportunities if they remain limited to raw material exports Smarter trade policies, investment, and recycling are needed to close the gap A looming copper shortfall could stall the world's shift to clean energy and digital infrastructure, warns UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in its latest Global Trade Update published on 6 May. The report calls copper the“new strategic raw material” –“in the new green and digital economy” and a test case for how global trade systems handle resource pressures under strain. Download the report Copper is essential for electric vehicles, renewable energy, artificial-intelligence infrastructure, data centres and smart grids. Yet supply isn't keeping up. Global demand is set to rise over 40 percent by 2040, but low ore grades, geopolitical risks and long development timelines – up to 25 years for new mines – pose structural challenges. Meeting projected needs would require 80 new mines and $250 billion in investment by 2030. Resource-rich nations export raw copper, miss value-added gains More than half of global copper reserves lie in just five countries, namely Australia, Chile, Peru, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Russian Federation. But most of the value is added elsewhere. China now imports 60% of global copper ore and produces over 45 percent of refined copper. UNCTAD finds that many resource-rich countries are stuck at the bottom of the value chain, exporting raw materials but unable to industrialize. Tariff escalation – from under 2 percent duties on refined copper to up to 8 percent on other finished products like sheets and wires – can discourage upgrading. Most major copper exporters also fall below the global average in economic complexity, underscoring the need for investment in infrastructure, skills and targeted trade policy. “Copper is no longer just a commodity – it's a strategic asset,” said Luz María de la Mora, director of UNCTAD's Division on International Trade and Commodities .“Its market exposes the power asymmetries that still shape global trade. That's why we need to invest in local value addition, scale up recycling and remove trade barriers that limit opportunity. This is a moment where all countries can win – if trade is made to work for development.” Recycling now supplies 1 in 5 tonnes of copper In 2023, 4.5 million tons – nearly 20 percent of global refined copper – came from secondary sources. The United States, Germany and Japan are top scrap exporters, while China, Canada and the Republic of Korea lead on imports. For developing countries, copper recycling is a strategic opportunity. Building local capacity can reduce import dependence, lower emissions and support circular-economy practices to protect the environment and use resources more efficiently. Copper is a test case for future trade strategy The report argues that copper is a test case for managing critical materials amid global trade tensions, fragmented supply chains and shifting industrial policies. These risks reflect the broader slowdown and uncertainty UNCTAD has cautioned against. UNCTAD urges smarter trade and industrial strategies – streamlined permitting, reduced tariffs, regional value chains – to help developing countries move up the value chain and share more equitably in the energy and tech transformations. It's more than just a metal. It's in our phones, our homes, our cars – quietly powering our daily lives. As demand increases for clean technologies, like solar panels and electric vehicles, copper is increasingly in the spotlight.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Caribbean News Global) The Super Bowl is one of the largest public events to take place in the United States. This year's matchup, held at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, was attended by more than 65,000 fans, with thousands more enjoying related festivities in and around the stadium. The Science and Technology Directorate's (S&T) Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) program was on-site providing technical support to the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to help keep everyone safe from careless, clueless or nefarious Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Security for an event like the Super Bowl must be airtight and seamless. Keeping everyone-including spectators, the competing teams, halftime performers, venue staff, media and surrounding establishments-safe is a top priority. No one wants to miss a moment of the festivities, pageantry, and action. Providing this kind of security requires the professionalism and cooperation of countless local, state and federal agencies, and S&T was a big part of that, supporting USCG as part of a C-UAS team that also included US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Transportation Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) among others. The FAA estimates that as of this month, more than 1 million UAS (or drones) are registered in the US alone. The overwhelming majority are used for legitimate commercial and recreational purposes. But there is no avoiding that they can also be used for illicit and nefarious means. During the Super Bowl, the FAA designated the Superdome and the area around it as a No-Fly Zone, and this included UAS. However, this did not prevent more than 70 drone operators from attempting to enter the restricted area and approach the stadium. All of these attempts had to be taken seriously and were dealt with appropriately. The C-UAS team positioned sensors in advance at multiple locations around the Superdome. The sensors provided coverage of the airspace that needed to be monitored, detecting any drones in flight approaching the restricted area. “S&T provided our team with absolutely essential expertise that allowed us to network a lot of different equipment from different agencies and centrally locate and monitor all of it,” said a USCG representative.“The five different sites that the Coast Guard set up around the city were all networked electronically back to the NFL Security Room. This network arrangement allowed us to monitor in real time exactly what every one of those sensors was detecting and manipulate and control them from the central location.” When a drone was detected, the first step determined if it was an authorized drone being flown by law enforcement or media covering the game. If not, then the C-UAS team treated it as a potential threat. “Sometimes we can infer their intent based on the flight pattern, or where they took off from, or where they were intending to go,” said S&T C-UAS program manager Shawn McDonald.“Normally we try to send it home, or fend it off, and see if the operator is going let it land and pack it up. If they keep coming, you know they're trying to go where they shouldn't be.” The team had options for dealing with unauthorized drones. In some instances, they could make the drone fly back to where it launched; the drone pilot would then see the UAS returning to them, and most people get the message and pack up to leave. Another potential option would be to take control of the UAS. The C-UAS team could fly the drone to its operator, sometimes accompanied by local law enforcement. Or, if there is some concern about whether the UAS has hazardous payload or the pilot is in a crowded area, the C-UAS team could fly it to a pre-selected“safe” area away from people, like an empty field. Then the drone could be examined without putting any bystanders at risk. Unique situations also arose during the Super Bowl. For instance, two different attempts were made to fly drones towards the Super Bowl from a large ocean cruise liner docked on the Mississippi River in the French Quarter. The systems detected the drones, and a ground team was able to get over there and interview one of the pilots. As it turned out, the unauthorized drones during this year's Super Bowl all fell into the“careless and clueless” category (an unofficial, but common term in the C-UAS world). They were not carrying any dangerous payloads but still had to be kept clear and checked out. At the end of the day, those attending the big game and the millions watching across the globe had no idea that a very successful collaboration was taking place outside, keeping watch and making sure that it all went off without a hitch to keep the public safe and enjoy the game.
